I installed Firestone bags on my F 150 King Ranch in about 3 hrs, including a dedicated air compressor and control. My f 250 took about 30 minutes longer. My install was to help raise the nose of trailer when backing into our driveway which is an incline from the bottom of the "crown/gutter" on the street. With wt equalizing hitch it's not required for squat as that's the purpose of the equalizing hitch. I did not need bags on either truck for weight capacity either as both trucks were well within limits. On both I maintained around 5-10 psi empty (mfg recommended) and around 30 psi towing which tempers out the effects of the pot holes.
Edit: I should have stated that I am a tool fool.
My install was a bit faster as I used air tools (impact gun) and have 2 floor jacks, 12 ton bottle jacks, jack stands etc.
